The Why

Jonathan thrives here. This podcast is so amazing. The conversations are so smart and also revealing. As an entrepreneur scaling my business in the outdoor endurance space this podcast provides such impactful insights that I feel like I’m taking a master class in the outdoor sports industry. I’ve become way more knowledgeable and prepared after two episodes than I would have after months of reading. Amazing guests, amazing interviewer, great vibe, can’t wait for more.

Like a knowledge dump you should have to pay for

I’m not very fast, but running is a constant and sustaining part of my life. This podcast, with wonderful, probing interviews that truly let the subjects speak (but which still have challenging questions) resonates with what gets me out on the roads every day.

This podcast is for the long run or short run, and every run! Training for a marathon can be a LOT easier when you can listen to this podcast! I get lost in the great conversations and when I should be struggling I find myself laughing and smiling down the road. Thank you for this wonderful podcast! That means a LOT – thank you!
